About the event
Thabani Gapara presents – Dzindza “A Celebration of African Heritage” After a standout performance at Church Road’s Jazz in the Park, award-nominated saxophonist and composer Thabani Gapara returns to Hawke’s Bay this spring with his DZINDZA concert. On 22 May at the iconic Toitoi Opera House, Gapara and his incredible band are set to bring an evening of soulful African jazz fusion - with a sound that draws on Afrobeat, Highlife, Mbaqanga, and Mbira – woven together with influences of funk, soul, and Zouk – Gapara creates music that feels both deeply rooted and joyfully contemporary.
